NBA Same Game Parlay Picks, & Predictions for Friday: Heat vs. Celtics (2022)

by |

The first week of the NBA is in full swing. That means so is betting. One of the most popular forms of betting is same-game parlays. Same-game parlays are pretty simple. Pair together multiple bets to increase your odds. Get all legs correct, and cash out.

Let us look at the best same-game parlays in today’s games. And here’s a deeper look at Heat vs. Celtics.

NBA Same Game Parlay Picks, & Predictions for Friday: Heat vs. Celtics

Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics

  • Leg 1: Jayson Tatum Over 2.5 Threes (-174)
  • Leg 2: Jaylen Brown Over 2.5 Assists (-160)
  • Leg 3: Derrick White Under 0.5 Blocks (-113)

Jayson Tatum is turning into one of the best-scoring guards in the NBA. During his career, Tatum is attempting 8.1 threes per 36 minutes of play and shoots 38% from downtown. That puts him at an average of 3.1 three-pointers per game. 

Jaylen Brown isn’t a pass-first guard, but over the last two years, he is averaging over three assists a game. The Miami Heat’s defense is going to force both Celtics guards to have to pass the ball. That should be enough to push Brown over the 2.5 assist mark during this matchup. 

Blocks aren’t always easy to come by. Derrick White isn’t the same defensive player he was in San Antonio and averaged a block a game. Since coming to Boston, he is averaging 0.6 blocks per game. That makes this a value leg to this three-leg parlay.
